Lol, i just saw mass wedding and other weddings because of the  people's 8-08-008 frezy! Believing that this brings a good luck, they believe it's the best time to get married. Wahh I saw this old couple, with full gray hairs and sagging skins and countless facial lines, ooops not to mention missing teeth...they are old as grannies and have just decided for the first time to get married after all and now. haha.

hmmm so wha's a luck on this number?

Anyway, i read that on the contrary, chinese folks believe it may not be that lucky as it falls on the Ghost month.

"...Aug. 8, 2008 is not an auspicious day to get married, open a business, sign a major contract, start a construction or move into a new house. The date is not favorable either for the opening of Beijing Olympics, says Joseph Chau, Mandarin Oriental Manila’s feng shui expert.
“August 8, 2008 is the second day of the Ghost Festival which falls on the 8th day of the 7th lunar month, which is what the Chinese call the Ghost Month. Locally, the Chinese-Filipino refer to this month as the Hungry Ghost Month,” Chau says. “This is why the Chinese don’t usually engage in any big event within this month.”
The Chinese seventh month, usually August, is the most ill-fated time of the year. It is called Ghost Month, and its climax is the Festival of the Hungry Ghosts. Buddhists, Taoists and believers of Chinese folk religion believe that during the Ghost Month, the spirits of the dead wander the earth. There’s superstition that the Ghost Month is the most inauspicious time, during which important decisions and activities such as travel, weddings, moving to a new house and even swimming are suspended.
“The Beijing Olympics and establishments hold events and promotions on Aug. 8 because on the surface they think that 08-08-08 is a lucky number. This is an ordinary day in the calendar similar to July 7, 2007 and June 6, 2006,” Chau says. “But if Aug. 8, 2008 is not within the Ghost Month, it is really a lucky day. But since it falls in that month, one’s luck will somewhat have a ‘big discount.’” _ Daily Inquirer

I still don't know why'd the country puruse this date anyway if this is so true. hmmm
I just saw Beijing Olympics opening. Wahhhhhhhh spectacularly marvelous! It's the best  i've seen! :)

Well enough about dates. I believe a couple's loyal and sincere commitment is not dependent on 8-08-008 or anything like it.
